Tonight Disney announced a bunch of new merchandise to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Disney Vacation Club and four new Limited Edition MagicBands are included in that announcement. The new design of the band and box celebrates the 25th anniversary of Disney Vacation Club and is available in 4 different colors: purple, blue, red and pink. Each box will be themed to the color of the band, so there will be four unique boxes as well. Here’s what the purple band and box looks like:
Because the bands are Limited Edition, they most likely will play specials lights and sounds at entry and/or FastPass+ touch points, and I’ll post again when I have more information on this. You must be a DVC Member to purchase one of these bands, and there is a limit of two per person. They will cost $32.99 each, and according to the picture, each color will be limited to 2500.
There are 3 easy ways to purchase:
- Via the Shop Disney Parks App beginning April 11, 2016
- In-person at select Walt Disney World retail locations beginning April 15, 2016
- Online through the Disney Vacation Club Member Marketplace beginning April 18, 2016:
- Disney Vacation Club 25th Anniversary Disney Parks MagicBand – Red – Limited Edition
- Disney Vacation Club 25th Anniversary Disney Parks MagicBand – Blue – Limited Edition
- Disney Vacation Club 25th Anniversary Disney Parks MagicBand – Pink – Limited Edition
- Disney Vacation Club 25th Anniversary Disney Parks MagicBand – Purple – Limited Edition
As I get more details on these MagicBands, I will be sure to post about them on this site.
Do you know yet if these will make any special lights or sounds at fastpass points?
They should, but no one knows yet for sure until someone tries it. It’s not an advertised feature.
They do.
Mine doesn’ 🙁
Now I just need to find a dvc member to buy me one! Haha
I’ll buy you one… for one MILLION dollars. Muahahahahhahaahahahaahhahaha
$32….. crazy!
Only 2 per person? I have more than 2 people in my family! Any thoughts as to how they will accommodate this?
It’s 2 per person, meaning 2 for each person in your family. So if you have 6 people in your family, you can buy 12 total. But that is in-person at WDW. Online orders will probably only let you buy just 2 total.
Any photos leaked of the other colors yet?
Check it out… I was able to find pictures of the other colors today: https://www.magicbandcollectors.com/disney-magic-bands/dvc/
Any idea what they mean by “select retail locations?” Are there stores that typically sell DVC merchandise or are otherwise known for carrying Limited Edition bands?
Honestly I am not sure. I guess we will find out soon!
I am trying to purchase but all I am getting is Item Not Available? It’s only 8:10a so is there a specific time they begin selling or are they really sold out?
Lots of other people are also getting this error. Not sure what is going on right now.
Did anyone get them on the app yet? In I’m getting the same error message.
Nope, I have not been able to purchase them yet.
I just purchased two a few minutes ago.
Did you try at midnight? Might they be sold out already?
Still haven’t gotten to purchase. I tried at midnight as well. Nothing. It’s 9:08am here.
I was just now able to purchase a red one. Before I kept getting the error of could not add to basket
Try now! They are available. I got a purple and blue!!
You can get them now!
If anyone gets them, please let us know! Thanks
I was able to get 2 ordered at 9:15am Central time!
I just placed an order for three, one purple, one ref, and one blue, so apparently it’s two per color.
Got 1 of each color at app. 1015 east.
I wish the Disney Parks app was available in Canada 🙁 Looks like I won’t be getting my hands on these ones…
Was able to purchase two. (That is all I need) Also saw an option to add quantity for each color. I got pink and blue. That was at 10:37am eastern time.
Hi – could not access at around 8 am, but by 9:30 was able to purchase and received DVC discount
I got mine about 930am EST.
Now we wait patiently to receive them. To bad you can’t personalize them with a name like the standard ones.
People are buying them out and posting on eBay for crazy amounts. That really stinks for the people who are dvc members who want the band for their yearly vacation. Greed, Greed, Greed. They should only let DVC members purchase them.
I agree Debbie. Why they don’t restrict it to DVC members I don’t know…. but just because they are DVC members doesn’t mean that they also wouldn’t be eBay resellers. DVC members might want to try and make a buck too.
I was able to abscond a blue one
Do they light up at touch points?
Yep. See my latest news story I just posted.
I’m in Disney right now , just bought two of them . They don’t do anything but turn green, just like the bands that I all ready have. Very disapointed!
Unfortunately it looks like Disney may have turned off the effects for the DVC bands for some reason. Others have complained as well. I’m not sure why they did that, sorry!
I was able to purchase 1 of each on the 13th but I see they are no longer in the app at all. Typically they would say out of stock and allow to view in the map if available at WDW but they’re gone.
I am still waiting for my email confirming shipped.
I am dvc can’t find them in the App, what is problem? Any idea?
I can’t find them in the App either. Can someone post where we can find these?
More than likely to allow purchases in WDW. they may have just had a set amount for the app.
Or they sold out and eBay is the only option.
They are available in the Disney Vacation Club Marketplace. I was just able to order 5!
